Chapter 168: Master? [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]

"Why so long?"

The blue brick back alley outside the Zhuxie Division was a secluded path. Liang Yue walked through it and saw Wen Yifan waiting there.

She was wearing a simple, thin long green shirt, with her long hair tied up and a green scarf covering her face. Her outfit was really low-key, covering her face completely. Although it couldn't hide her beautiful temperament, it at least made her less conspicuous in the crowd.

"Isn't this just telling the story to people?" Liang Yue responded, "It would be bad to stop halfway through."

"You are quite righteous." Wen Yifan also smiled faintly, with curved eyebrows.

It can be seen that going out for some fresh air made her feel very happy.

"Let's go, the streets are even busier today than the day we came back!" Liang Yue quickly chased after him.

As a condition for helping Wen Yifan "escape from prison", he required that he must accompany him throughout the process.

On the one hand, Senior Sister Wen's current condition is different from before, and there is indeed a risk. If I just help her sneak out, I will have to bear the responsibility if something goes wrong.

That's why he had to follow, to provide protection and make sure nothing unusual happened to Senior Sister Wen.

On the other hand, he suddenly wanted to go shopping too, so it was just right for us to go together.

Ok.

That's it.

The two people quietly slipped out of the Zhuxie Division through a small door one after another. After meeting up, they quickened their pace and walked to the street. The warm breeze brushed their faces, and they inexplicably felt a sense of joy of eloping.

At this time, the streets are bustling with vendors and tourists, and it is really noisy and prosperous.

Wen Yifan said as he walked: "I never thought these streets, snacks, and street performances were so interesting before. It was only after I was cursed that I discovered that the surroundings were so wonderful. Even the blue sky, white clouds, flowers and trees, breeze... these things are more vivid than before, as if they suddenly had colors."

"Perhaps the Supreme Immortal Body is both a gift and a constraint." Liang Yue couldn't help but smile as he looked at her happy expression.

"I want to try that." She suddenly pointed to a snack stand in front of her, which was selling a kind of crystal clear and soft lotus soup. It looked shiny and covered with one or two petals. I don't know how it tasted, but it looked good.

"Then let's try it." Liang Yue said.

The two of them came over and ordered a bowl of soup. Wen Yifan took out a gold ingot and wanted to pay the boss.

"Hey, girl, what are you doing?" The stall owner was so scared that he smiled bitterly, "We are a small business, how can we find a place to run it?"

"Senior Sister Wen, let's be more restrained." Liang Yue quickly pulled her back.

It's too scary to buy a bowl of snacks and get gold bars. It's enough to buy all the stalls on this street.

"But I only bring this little money with me for emergencies." Wen Yifan frowned.

Liang Yue took out a few coins and helped her pay the bill. Then he turned around and said with a smile: "It's okay. Don't I have you here?"

Wen Yifan chuckled again, "Thank you."

Liang Yue waved his hand, looked at the stalls all over the street, and said, "Senior Sister Wen, just buy whatever you want. I'll pay for everything today."

When facing a beauty, I feel heroic.

On this street, he still has the capital to be generous.

Before going to the Rakshasa Ghost Market, he had specially brought two thousand taels of silver notes with him, in case he had to spend money. Now he hadn't had time to put it back, so he was carrying it with him. Just eating at these snack stalls would not make him poor.

But Wen Yifan was not the kind of person who would take advantage of others. She only bought this snack and found it not to her taste after eating it.

She had been eating food from the fairy mountains for years, which tasted light as water and loved spiritual energy. She was not used to these roadside snacks with heavy seasonings. However, since it was a treat, she still insisted on finishing it.

The two continued walking on the street, and they saw several young women in colorful clothes coming out of the same door arm in arm, looking very happy.

Wen Yifan looked over immediately and saw that the store was called "Jia Ren Fang". It was a shop that made and sold clothes and looked magnificent.

She immediately became interested and asked, "Want to go in and take a look?"

"Okay." Liang Yue agreed readily.

As soon as the two stepped into the store, they were dazzled by the sight of all kinds of exquisitely cut colorful dresses, which were obviously designed to cater to the current Colorful Clothes Festival.

Wen Yifan seemed to be visiting this kind of clothing store for the first time. He pulled up a few clothes that he liked and looked them over.

The shop owner came over and exclaimed, "Oh my God! I've been selling clothes for more than ten years, but I've never seen such a beautiful person. She's just like a fairy in a painting."

"Thank you." Wen Yifan felt embarrassed by her praise and said thank you shyly in a low voice.

The proprietress took a look at Liang Yue, who was dressed in brocade and had a handsome appearance, and continued, "I have made clothes for princesses in the palace and young ladies from various mansions over the years, but I have never seen a girl with such a look and temperament as you. These ordinary clothes are not suitable for you. Come with me."

As she spoke, she pulled Wen Yifan over and took the two of them to the second floor.

There are much fewer clothes here. Each piece is hung individually in a wooden frame, inlaid with gold and kingfisher feathers, and is extremely gorgeous.

Wen Yifan looked at it and found that it was indeed much more beautiful than the ones below.

The lady boss raised her hand and pointed at a colorful dress hanging in the front, saying, "It took twelve tailors two years to make that dress. The other day, the daughter of a minister wanted to buy it, but I didn't sell it to her because I was afraid that my design would be disgraced. Girl, this dress should be worn by you!"

She was very arrogant, but the boss lady was able to open such a luxurious clothing store in the north of Longyuan City. It seemed that she was also a cultivator. I think she must have some background. Saying such words was not necessarily bragging. Following the direction she pointed, the two saw the dress embedded in the highest part of the wall in front of them. The silk threads were colorful and looked like phoenix feathers. The tailoring was slender and decent, with a hint of spirituality, just like the clothes of immortals.

"This..." There was a gleam in Wen Yifan's eyes, and it was obvious that he fell in love with her at first sight.

"Come, try it on." The proprietress asked the waiter to take down the clothes and pushed her into the fitting room.

While waiting, she smiled at Liang Yue and said, "I like to see a fairy couple like you two. This colorful dress can not only be worn during the festival, but also as a formal dress when you get married in the future."

"This is...what are you talking about?" Liang Yue couldn't help but smile and explained quickly: "We are not...that..."

Before he could finish his hesitant words, there was a rustling sound and Wen Yifan walked out of the fitting room.

The entire floor was silent for a moment.

She usually wore plain clothes to avoid attracting too much attention. Now she put on this carefully tailored dress, which was colorful and brilliant, and her exposed skin looked even whiter and brighter. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was the dress that was against the person or the person that was against the shirt. It was just like a phoenix spreading its wings in the dark room, filling her eyes with brilliance.

"How is it?" she asked hopefully, her eyes like stars.

"It's so beautiful." Liang Yue exclaimed, "Madam, how much is this dress? We must take it."

"If you ask me, this dress is tailor-made for this fairy girl!" The proprietress also exclaimed in amazement, and then gave a dreamy price, "The price of this dress is two thousand taels, but I think I have a connection with this girl, so I will charge you one thousand eight hundred taels."

"Puff." Liang Yue couldn't hold back at all.

"So expensive?" Although Wen Yifan had no idea about gold and silver, he knew that the price was really outrageous.

"To be honest, we make clothes for dignitaries here. The prices are not low, but you get what you pay for. The material of this dress is the top-grade seven-color silk in Nanzhou. The color is different all the time. The raw material alone is nearly one thousand taels, not to mention the craftsmanship of so many masters. I originally wanted to make such a dress as a treasure of the store, only for people to see, not for others to wear." The proprietress said sincerely: "Today, I want to let you wear it because I see you, girl. If it were someone else, I would definitely not even think about it."

"Forget it." Wen Yifan shook his head. Although he was reluctant, his eyes were still firm. "This dress is too expensive. I don't have enough money..."

"Stop talking." Liang Yue gritted his teeth, suddenly waved his hand, and said, "Wrap it up."

……

Fukangfang, Ping'an Alley.

When Liang Xiaoyun returned home, she was immediately caught by her mother.

Although she had already made up an excuse in advance that she was going to stay overnight at a classmate's house, Li Caiyun still couldn't help but worry and stood guard at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning.

When she saw her daughter, she smiled and said, "You're finally back. I was so worried about you."

Liang Xiaoyun smiled softly and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm back safe and sound, right?"

"As a girl, you're not as strong as your older brother and younger brother, so it's inevitable that your mother will worry." Li Caiyun held her hand and ruffled her hair, her eyes full of joy.

"Hehe, then I will always stay with mother from now on." Liang Xiaoyun comforted her mother.

After Li Caiyun felt relieved, she couldn't help but ask, "Did you really go to a girl's house last night?"

Seeing that she was about to ask questions, Liang Xiaoyun immediately rolled her eyes and changed the subject, "Mom, when my eldest brother came back yesterday to report that he was safe, I saw him sneak into your room again. Can you see if there is any money missing?"

"Really?" Li Caiyun turned around and walked into the house. When she came to the floor tiles, she said, "This is all the reward money your eldest brother risked his life for. In fact, he should take it all. Mother was just afraid that he was too young to keep it and would spend it recklessly, so she kept it for him..."

As he spoke, he opened the box and saw that there were only some loose change left.

The corners of Li Caiyun's mouth curved downward instantly, but she still comforted herself, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Your eldest brother is a sensible child. He didn't tell me because he was afraid of making mother sad. He won't spend money recklessly. He will use the money to buy weapons to protect himself. He will definitely spend it on the right things."

……

"Thank you so much today." Later that evening, Wen Yifan returned to the gate of the Zhuxie Division carrying the box of clothes. "I'll return the money to you when I get back."

"Sister Wen, it's too polite to say that." Liang Yue shook his head and said, "We agreed that I will pay for today. There's no need to be so polite."

"After all, it's worth a lot of money." Wen Yifan insisted.

"There's no need to be like this among fellow disciples. If you want to thank me, just treat me to a meal later." Liang Yue said with a smile.

The sky was blue, the air was clear, and the two of them walked side by side with smiles on their faces. Just as they were about to go back through the back door, they turned the corner and saw an old Taoist priest in a black and white Taoist robe standing in the middle of the street. He had a square face, thin eyebrows, and looked very serious.

As soon as he saw this person, Wen Yifan's smile suddenly disappeared and he immediately stood up straight.

Seeing the two people talking and laughing, the old Taoist priest showed a hint of anger between his brows.

When Liang Yue saw this person, he also felt a little strange and was wondering what happened to Senior Sister Wen?
Then the old Taoist priest spoke in a deep voice, "Are you Wang Rulin's unlucky disciple? Was she cursed by the Seven Emotions Curse when she was working on a case with you?"

Wen Yifan immediately responded: "The fact that I was hit by the Seven Emotions Curse had nothing to do with Liang Yue. Instead, he saved me. Master, please don't say that about him."

Liang Yue, who was standing next to him, also tensed up when he heard this.

Master?

　Good morning.
